    Purchase this device for my parents during the Animal Crossing hype. Holds the charge well. It’s a great price compared to the larger regular switch. Compact and light.

    Awesome little game console and its super light. I bought this for my sone because he kept kidnapping my oled. He absolutely loves it. I Would reccomend getting an sd card for more storage, i personally think 500gb is fine for most needs.

    I already own an OG Switch, but with Nintendo's decision to only allow one island per console for the upcoming Animal Crossing title, they were able to squeeze out a little extra money from me. I was on the fence about the Lite, but ultimately decided the turquoise version was the way to go. Transferring my save data and downloaded games were an easy enough process. Plus I'm still able to play on my original Switch, so there's no issues with swapping gameplay between the two. Battery life certainly seems better, but I tend to keep my system plugged in at all times, so it's a bit of a moot point with me. Graphically I think games look better on the Lite than in handheld mode on the full-size Switch, which is definitely a plus. The only potential downside is if it ever gets joycon drift, since I'd have to send in the whole system. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen, lol. All in all, I'd say the Lite is definitely worth picking up...but I'd treat it more as a secondary system; I still rate the "big brother" Switch as the best one to buy.

    I just had to get this, I wanted to experience those childhood games you would play on the wii or ds and this is perfect! I love all the features it has and it is has pretty good quality. I would definitely recommend for your kids or even adults who want to get that same childhood experience!! My favorite games to play are SuperSmash bros, Animal crossing, and Legend of Zelda and with this Nintendo switch they are all 10/10!!!

    I just got my switch lite! I had to pre-order for this color.i ordered it March 31st and it came in today on April 3rd. I picked the free shipping option and it came 4 days early!They sent me frequent emails to keep me updated on my order. The system itself is great and I love the matte finish because it doesn’t leave fingerprints. I usually play games on portable systems so this switch is perfect for me! I would recommend it to anyone that plays games primarily on handheld devices. I really appreciate the rapid shipping and updates from Best Buy. This will definitely keep me occupied while I’m staying at home all the time. I would definitely reorder from Best Buy again!

    I love the size of the switch lite. It doesn’t feel too big and is the perfect size for me. The screen size isn’t too far off from the Switch. I absolutely love the color! I love that it is touch screen and love that it displays all of your games on the home screen. The only con I have about this is the device gets hot when it is being used for a while but it is understandable since it’s a gaming console

    We were lucky enough to snag one of these before the global shut down. I am so glad we were too! Being stuck at home can become frustrating and boring, but with the help of the switch lite and the assortment of games that are offered it was just the kind of quick distraction we were looking for. Perfect size for large or small hands, weighs next to nothing and the interface is super accommodating to all types of gamers. The price point is also pretty decent.

    I love this switch. I bought 1 each for my 2 daughters. It’s perfect size for them. Lightweight, long lasting battery and it’s just great to have. It’s definitely keeping them occupied during this pandemic. Id recommend getting one and setting up the parental control app to see their activity on it.

    Got this for my daughter's 5th birthday so she could play Minecraft with her sister. She loves it. For those wondering, 5 might be a bit too young, but my daughter has been playing with her sister Switch for some time now so she has experience.

    SO HAPPY I DIDNT WAIT FOR THE SWITCH TO BE IN STOCK AND GETTING THE SWITCH LITE INSTEAD! bought the Comfort Grip for it as well for easier holding. I prefer it with it. it’s super lightweight. Perfect size for even little hands for kids. All around great product. i’ve played it for over 200 hours in the couple weeks i’ve had it. Thank you Nintendo. Thank you Best Buy for being awesome for making pick up easy, contactless, and super fast!

    I wanted to pick up a Lite even though I owned a full Switch, hoping it would be a bit more portable. Thankfully it is! Even with a small case (I use a TomTom case), it’s much smaller. What’s most noticeable is how much lighter it is. The screen is smaller obviously and the buttons are different than Joy-Cons (they’re squishy not clicky) so keep that in mind.

    The color is really pretty in person. And the console itself is fairly good, you got so many games to feast on in Nintendo eshop. The only thing I didn't like was the heat management of the thing, it heats up a bit after awhile(Not severely). If you like a lighter weight version of a switch and don't mind losing some switch perks, then this is for you.

    This is a perfect gaming console for handheld gaming. If you want to play on your TV the original switch is a better option. However, the option to upgrade storage capacity and being able to play any nintendo game on the go at a lower price point is perfect.

    I got this switch lite for my daughter as a graduation present and she loves it! The size, the color, the game selection is great for her! She really loves it! For kids it’s $100 less than the regular one that we have at hone and it’s more portable! easy recommendation for parents with a switch in their house already! We also got clubhouse games with it which is perfect!

    This handheld is great for younger children. At its relatively affordable price when compared to other similar devices it’s a great value. I did have to purchase an external sd card so beware of the low integrated storage.

    I bought the switch lite for my nephew to introduce him into the gaming world. I figured this specific switch would be great for a little kid since the controllers don’t detach. (We know how kids can be) and so far it’s still his favorite gift. I highly recommend the switch lite for anyone wanting to buy their child’s first gaming system.
